At the morning I standby for the EDI support calls. Next, the senior asked for help to do stock checking system for company. Next I continue to do the hardware checking and find the driver for the devices. on the end of the working hours, I attend the fire prevention talk for the company. The topic explained how to avoid from fire and apply the safety precaution steps. The speakers also advice us to avoid from heavy smoke because heavy smoke can shutdown us very quickly rather than fire.

Today is my first outstation during the internship. I have been selected to go outstation and see the senior and supervisor deal with a new customer. Luckily, I can see the Xeersoft branch at Melaka. I have to go to Kota Tinggi, Johor. At there I learn how to setup receipt printer and basic function for 3Xpos system.
What is 3Xpos system? 3Xpos is a pos application specially designed for supermarket/ hypermarket retail operation. The main design objective of 3Xpos is to be fast, simple and stable. Because supermarket operation has a high demand of stable and speedy transaction, 3Xpos must be able to cater the scanning speed of cashier and also the high usage during peak hours.
3Xpos stands for 3rd generation of Xeersoft Pos.
Also stands for:
1. Explore - exploring the new capability of pos program by using new technologies
2. Expand - implementation of the newly explored capabilities
3. Exposure - increase the exposure of customer brand image and help them to improve their brand image generation
Before this during the working hours I have to learn by my self all the system in the Knowledge Base. On that day my supervisor ask me to apply the knowledge to setup the PC and my supervisor will evaluate my works.

Today is federal territory holiday and our office should be not working on that day. But I am still in the outstation hours. On that day we go to Masai, Johor to settle up the problem for the outlet. At there I also learn how to downgrade the updated browser to make the system is more stable to be used. At certain level, we need to downgrade the browser because the to run the system it need to be compatible with the application. All the system need to be synchronized with the current applications because most of the system have it own lifetimes and we need to follow the trends and evolution of a system.
After that we need to go to Johor Baharu, Johor to solve the current issue during that time. For this session I only watch and see the problems to be solved.
